“I do not think, sir, you have any right to command me, merely because you are older than I, or because you have seen more of the world than I have; your claim to superiority depends on the use you have made of your time and experience.”
― Charlotte Brontë, Jane Eyre
- Victor! Aren't you supposed to visually scan our visitors and prepare food according to your findings? Our guest arrived at the end of a long journey. Please hurry!
Even humanoids can piss one off from time to time, my friend., luckily never as bad as humans themselves. The planet I come from is shared by two kinds of humans, namely the good and the bad kind. The bad are subcategorised into many forms like thieves, bigots, killers, rapers, bullies and the list goes on and on. But you didn't come all the way to see the injustice around here, so I arranged the windows for you to remember good things about me and my home planet.
Characteristics of Friendship
Certain characteristics of friendship include affection, sympathy, empathy, honesty, altruism, mutual understanding and compassion, enjoyment of each other's company, trust, and the ability to be oneself, express one's feelings, and make mistakes without fear of judgment from the friend.
Are the inhabitants of your planet treated equally there? Unfortunately the human mind is evolved to protect its ego, so most people on my planet do not value the rights of others, but only theirs.
Mathematical Definition Of Equality
Equality is a state in which two things or values are always equal.
Fortunately
mathematics doesn't require trust. Trust, in my mind, is like one's hands. They can punch you in the face, or they can build the most reliable piece of machinery, or create the most
beautiful sculpture. The odd thing is, sometimes you first see the beautiful sculpture built and then take a hit on the nose with the same pair of hands.
Nothing beats happiness, of course! Justice, respect, equality...they all have concrete recipes. Happiness doesn't. We, rather relatively intelligent life forms on this planet, are happy for one thing one day, happy for another some other day. Sometimes we prefer to keep our happiness locked in the depths of our freaky minds, yet some other times we express it in most exuberant ways. And things shift from one state to another real quickly. The person above can in one instance turn to the person below. Earthlings are weird, my friend.
In this part of my spaceship, the things you saw through the windows were all intangible things. Let's go to some more visually fun windows, where gods play dice.
- Victor! Bring us some well-shaken vodka martinis, will you?!
This way please.
